Mod, changes , added the white.

every mod got 2 versions , one with color icons and one with default app icons.
[Acer Iconia A500] garbagecanman:
Flashed r7 just letting it settle a bit. Gunna try some color mods but so far red/blue is my favorite overall. Wondering if ur gunna throw up 3rd party apps in the colors for the different mods?

Great job man!

Hi Civato :D

Awesome Rom Loving it
[Acer Iconia A500] :
On r7 having issues with talk when my brother attempts to video chat it drops everytime and says server error or something? Tested camera to make sure it wasn't that and its not. Skype gets the job done but gtalk is better. He is chatting through is laptop under gmail and I installed the plugin etc.. awhile ago. If I call him it drops also? Tried clearing data a few times ...

Wonder what's goin on.

is it a known issue for the camera to not take pictures in this rom? I was using the rooted stock with red\blue flexstriker theme with no issues, now in this rom with blue theme with unthemed icons i can video chat and what not but i cant take pictures or video. The camera app will view, but if i take a pic it will force close and the camera app wont find the camera and will fprce close until i reboot. I like this rom and theme, so any idea how i can fix this?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
What rom R7 ?

flashed mods on it and camera works here on R7.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
The r6 light in the first post.

Should i google r7 and flash after full wipe or can i flash over r6 light?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
google for flexstriker , R6 has no camera problem, R7 also no camera problem. just flashed white mod , blue mod , whatever mod , no problems .

Some have talk problem on R7 , you can flash over R6 light with no problem.

R8 will be released in 2 days I think.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Just had video chat with brother (GTALK) and it works with no problem ?

Will try other mod now and see if that does something?

EDIT:

tried diffrent mods and gtalk , can't find any problems .
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Googled r7 and the camera works like a champ, thank you. I'll try gtalk when my wife wakes up and make sure it still works.
[Acer Iconia A500] petrey:
i know this gets asked every time, but just want to make sure.

Can we just flash this (R7) over flexthunder or should we do a full wipe still?

Thanks for all you do for the A500 community, man!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I mean it says in the op. Just read and flash and enjoy.

Sent from my Infuse powered by ZEUS
[Acer Iconia A500] petrey:
Thanks for your response.

However, it doesn't really answer my question. The reason I ask in the first place is because with the flexthunder thread, it never really was specified in the op whether or not you could just flash over the flexspeed rom (which you could). So I'm just trying to double check in order to save myself and maybe others a little time and possible heartache ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Full wipe is needed because ther is some asus and toshiba stuff in there.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
got crt animation working on R8 when you close screen ., finaly !!!!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Pretty sure whether or not it mentions coming from flexthunder or not it says "complete wipe no matter what you come from"

Got gtalk on r6 working with no mods. Just haven't tried any yet. Don't know if it's a bug or not but during a gtalk session if I plug in headphones to hear better I loose mic. If I unplug I have to start session over again to have mic working? Shouldn't mic work with headphones?

[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
Got a quicky. I'm running Flexthunder. PS LOVE,LOVE your ROMs Civato. Anyway, When I run a music app and I have headphones plugged in, if the screen goes to sleep and I leave the phone plugged in and stop the music. ( I know it's a weird situation) anyway, the music is stopped, the headphones plugged in and the screen sleeps. When I wake up the tab and hit play, the music comes from both the headphones and the tab speakers. I have to hit stop. Unplug the headphones. hit play, let the music start and then plug the phones in and the speakers shut off.

OK, so now that I've explained the issue. Does this issue still exist in Flexstriker?

I'm waiting on R8 to flash it, but I just wanted to see if this was still present. I use my tab for tunes and sometimes have to pause the music for long periods. Then when I come back I have to do the procedure above so I don't annoy the co-workers.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I never exprienced this but from what I hear it is a random problem , did you try different headset ? and still working on R8.

Well I'will test it on my R8 , maybe something with youtube app , flashed my tablet maybe 30 times today , damn framwork and changing text color and the crt animation .

But I'm getting there.:D
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Don't worry bout testing in r6 or 7 just keep at r8 let me know if you need a test run of it. And maybe when ready check the headphone thing in r8. Which is maybe a gtalk issue. Who knows I'm going to try some things tonight m8.

video not working

Hey civato, nice work!

i got one issue: my videos dont work (different format like mkv, mp4, avi, etc) i tried it with different players (toshiba player, google player, mx player pro) no one worked...i restarted the tablet after wipe cache and dalvik...nothing worked...

before you ask: yes, i did wipe data, system, cache, flexrom befor installing...thats why i am confused....

any suggestions?? is video working for you guys??
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Try mobo player software decoding ? , not all video containers are supported in the nvidia cpu.

And yes I can play almost any file but there are exceptions
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I tried more than a few different versions of the app to no avail, and it's not only on one ROM, it seems to effect every 3.2.1 ROM out at the moment, although I haven't flashed with Thor's kernel, as you know how I feel about that ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Same here m8 , random movies you pick crash and some play without problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Glad to know it's not isolated, must be one of the bugs in the 3.2.1 update that didn't get fixed after they pulled the initial update to fix bugs.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Solved in my R8 :D
[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
Yeah, headset doesn't matter. But we'll see what happens when R8 is done. I'm in no hurry.

I use my tab to run sound for a children's theater and we're gearing up for performances next week. My tab is super critical as it houses all the soundtracks so I have to be patient and not mess it up until after the show is over. Then I can play.
[Acer Iconia A500] :

I just flashed this rom and absolutely love it. But now my modern combat 3 game keeps force closing it doesn't say game incompatable or anything like that. Does anyone have any ideas about I could solve my problem. I was running honeylicious 3.2 and everything worked fine. Thanks in advaced
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Mine runs smooth , did you do a full format ?
[Acer Iconia A500] skitzo60:
wow i feel like a newb

Okay I guess my problem was that I forgot to associate my device with Google's servers anyways great rom I love it. Now if I could figure out how to fix my ranks from getting reset when I leave multiplayer in mc3. And which kernel do you suggest to use for a super smooth experiance I'm using villians right now but I can only oc to 1400 without reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Google flexstriker , then you will find my full version with oc kernel build in and optimized to it , native ntfs support on custom kernel is not possible on villains ! But it is on my rom with the custom kernel that is build in ! Not talking about the light version posted here.

[Acer Iconia A500] Collinl:
nvm i flashed your r7 and its back to normal... must have been just xxxxx up lol thanks anyways i love your rom...

if i could just figure out how to connect to my xxxx ad hoc lol

im just getting really frustrated because my wifi keeps dropping out. Everytime I connect to my hotspot it drops out after 30 seconds - it will work for those 30 seconds but then i have to reset it....

Ive tried using connectify and mhotspot which they work its just that after 30 seconds of use my tablet says its still connected but a popup will come up on the tablet saying connection timed out or no connection - any ideas?

Also Ad-Hoc is a piece of xxxxt - whenever i try to set up an ad-hoc connection it just doesnt do it. It will say its connected when i set it up with static but it wont do **** and after 10 seconds it disconnects itself.

It shows up at least as (*)"Name of Ad-hoc" but when i connect to it - dhcp or static - sometimes it connects sometimes it doesnt and just cycles connecting/disconnecting but whenever it does connect the internet on the tablet never really works....

Mod Edit: DUDE, watch your language please.

This time i've only edited your post.

Happens to me when you change the phone.apk to .old or remove it same with telephony.apk .

just change them back and reboot and you can open them options.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I use ad-hoc and 3gusb every day when I'm at work, never had a problem with it, sometimes the app on my phone doesn't startup correctly but nothing bad that a reboot won't fix.

Wifi, problems again never had them and for the people that had dhcp lease problems (wifi connection dropping out) I made a fix for it and it is build in this rom, again you are the first to complain about it.

Even smaury build it in his latest light speed rom,because it really solves the wifi problems on the a500.

And I think you flash roms without following instructions, the problems you are describing I never had them and on some days I flash my tablet 30 times for testing.

Note,

If you use adhoc and a wep key to access it make sure it is correct, if not your tablet will see the adhoc wifi and will try to connect to attempt receiving a IP but will not connect.

That is your problem I think, turn off wep security (on your phone app)and see if it connects.

This was send by using adhoc.

I live in Vietnam. We use Unicode font. How can I change font back to stock?I have problem with a kind of symbol. But it's still OK with stock rom.This problem happen in all your rom. I tried all your 3g rom.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
If you got. Stock rom.zip, open it using winrar or something similar.

Go to system/fonts.extract that fonts folder and place it on your tablet.

Now on your tablet go to system/(using file explorer with root permission) , delete the fonts folder there and replace it with the one you extracted from the stock rom.

Reboot and you should be all set.

This Rom is really great on a500 lol

But there is a question on 3G Connection via 3G Dongle.

I have a big problem via 3G Connection

Normally(Screen on) the 3G Dongle(E169g) can work fine on my a500.

When I turn off the screen, then the 3G Connection will be disconnected.

All background apps need internet connection will also disconnected(eg. Google Music)

At this moment, even I turn on the screen back, the connection is still disconnected.

I have to unplug & plug again the 3G Dongle & reload the 3Grestart app

then the 3G Connection will work again.

This is really disturbing on normal usage.

Is there any way to fix this problem?

Thanks!:D
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Set wifi settings at off on screen off (in wifi settings)and Then it will keep searching for mobile network.

I can confirm that at R8 (will be released this week) that problem is gone , I just tested that with the settings I mentioned and the 3G connection does not dropout.

hi Civato

R8 can solve a part of Screen off drop off 3G problem

it do not drop off 3G data during downloading data when screen off

But in idle time (no data downloading), then screen off.The 3g drop off again

Also, How about 3G dongle Signal strength indicator?

before i use R8, I have tried Thor A500 ROM v14.2

This rom can show the 3G Signal strength

Will u mod this function in the future?

I've noticed I can't change my time zone in date/time settings. Its stuck on mountain standard time, which conveniently gives me the right time now but since I'm in AZ and we dont play the daylight savings time game, it wont give me the right time year round. It will be way off in a few weeks when I get to Korea, about 16 hours off. Any idea why I can't change it? I ccan view the time zones but when I pick one it just defaults to mountain standard time.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
New Base2-R8 will sove this , I'm uploading in about 1 hour , also gps problem on weather bug and train apps that need gps will be solved.

Sorry for the trouble , something went wrong with signing and compression.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Its no trouble, thanks for the quick fix, you've been quite awesome with supporting your rom and user base. I'm downloading it now, I'll post back if I notice anything else.

Edit- Time zones work, it gives the general time zone after selecting the location with proper time, rather than defaulting to mountain standard time no matter what I pick. Also, the default music player stops when the screen is off when I'm not using headphones. With headphones it works just fine, but if the screen shuts off without headphones the music stops after the song ends, and t picks back up when i turn the screen back on. Definitely not normal as I've been playing music from my tablet while doing housework since I got it and never encountered this.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Been running r8 since you released. Did blue/red and everything's great! Didn't get that timezone issue,? Will try gtalk and report back.

Great job! Don't think ill ever need ics on this device since your rim works so great.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Just tested that with my music player, mine just keeps playing when screen is off and it continues to the next song without problems.

I think you have some corrupted file because the time zone thing wasn't experienced by every user.

I just made sure it worked on base 2 , now the same with your music player, it works fine here.

I would suggest full wipe and format , flash the rom and then just restore your data in advanced settings in cwm.
